On May 8, a John Stabb memorial show was held. We had hoped it would be a benefit, but John passed away the day before. Many participants signed this screen print in order to help us raise funds to pay off John’s medical bills and provide assistance to his wife, Mina.

George Hurchalla, the talented author of Going Underground: American Punk 1979 – 1989, has donated 10 signed copies of the 2nd Edition to the cause. I’ll be putting a copy up each day! And don’t forget, you’ll have chances at other copies!!

Folks, I was digging through some boxes in the punk rock archive aka The Garage. I found a stash of Make An Effort shirts in Xl, 2XL, and 3XL. So, for folks looking for those sizes, hit me up and buy a shirt. They’re $20 a piece Help out John and Mina!

This item comes from the private archives of Robert Moss, former bass player in Government Issue and Artificial Peace.

This is an original test pressing for the Government Issue “Make an Effort” E.P. This is the original Fountain of Youth 7 inch release, recorded in ’82 and released in ’83. This item is in VERY GOOD condition.

Robert is an author these days and has a new book, Descending Memphis (descendingmemphis.com) The winning bidder will also receive a signed copy of Descending Memphis!

This is a unique package for the discerning punk rock fan.

All proceeds go to benefit John Stabb’s cancer treatment and assorted expenses.
